This “Blog” will discuss various techniques (from my own “point of view”), training methodologies, and applications used and taught by myself in the art of “Te”. It will often focus upon the instructed art of “Tuite”, as taught to me by Taika Seiyu Oyata.

Available Seminar Courses

Available Seminar Information Page

We have
assembled several Training Seminars that we are able to provide
to interested groups or parties.

Our purpose in making these seminars available, is to spread the unique information that we are able to provide. Our purpose is NOT to "recruit" anyone to our system of training. These seminars are provided to enhance"whatever" system that you teach/train in. We feel that we can provide useful, accurate and functional training in each of the areas that we provide instruction for. The
various seminars that we offer, cover several subjects and
levels. For any of our Tuite Technique/Application Courses, we have
only one perquisite
course (our “6 Tuite Principles”).

Having
once attended that introductory course, the student will have a foundation that
can be used for both defensive application practice and training, as well as continued research (with
tuite
as well as kyusho
and impact
applications).

We also offer courses in the practice of Shodo and the various studies related to it. The Shuji Tool & Utensil Use and Care Course is a "free" introductory (1hour) class that provides initial instruction for using and caring for the brush, tools and material. Additional Calligraphy courses include classes to determine an attendee's "Name Seal Kanji"(for use with a "Seal-Stone"). We also teach a basic "Katakana" Translation Course (useful for learning how to correctly brush a student's name's for certificates).Seminars
are priced according to subject content and the instruction time (commonly 4, 6,
12hr.) of the seminar requested, Any of these classes could also be offered
as a multi-day seminar format as well (if desired). Contact us for pricing on what course you'd be interested in hosting. Minimum course attendance level (student count) for all courses is 10 students (excluding L.E. Courses). Course Instruction costs are determined for each subject based upon attendee count and travel distance. (Attendee seminar cost is determined by the host, who will set the price of the course for attendee's).

Martial Arts Courses: Tuite Courses:

6
Tuite Principles
This course introduces the attendee to the 6 Principles that we utilize
for the determination of correct tuite application. We've found these
principles to be extremely beneficial to students as well as
instructors when establishing correct performance of any Tuite
techniques. (This course will teach/review the "palm/fold"/"push-catch"
technique as a learning reference source/tool).

Application
of Kihon Tuite Techniques
This course will guide the attendees through the performance of the
most common initially taught Tuite techniques. These are techniques that
are often taught as the foundation motions for the majority of instructed Tuite techniques. When referencing to our 6 Tuite Principles,
we've found that student's and/or instructor's utilizing that
methodology can often "self" correct any incorrectly performed
techniques. (6 Tuite Principle Course Prerequisite)Oriental Brush

These Ideas/methods originated (and were taught to myself) from Taika Seiyu Oyata. That study began with my 34 years of study with him until his death in 2012. What I present and discuss here, are my own understandings and (should) in no way reflect upon,discredit or dispute the teachings of any other instructors within that methodology. This blog is often biased in it's opinion of various practices being taught in the martial art's spectrum. If you disagree with the opinions stated here, then voice your disagreement/debate through your comments. Despite what may be thought, I am willing to change my opinion. You may not be able to do so, but I'm willing to debate any opinion that I may state on this blog.

Multiple Sclerosis

About Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide.

The Dunning–Kruger effect.

"The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled people make poor decisions and reach erroneous conclusions, but their incompetence denies them the meta cognitive ability to recognize their mistakes”.

“The unskilled therefore suffer from illusory superiority, rating their ability as above average, much higher than it actually is, while the highly skilled underrate their own abilities, suffering from illusory inferiority."
